Ted took us on an amazing journey through Kyoto’s street foods which was fun and very tasty! All tailored to what we like with so many options throughout the market
It was great to try food we’d never have eaten on our own, including Puffer fish!

Eiji was a very good guide and tried to stick with the long established food vendors in Nishiki rather than the more recent businesses that have less history with the market. He made the tour very comfortable and was very fluent in English. He had planned to take us to Gion for the last 90 minutes of the tour but when he learned we had already walked through Gion he made alternative plans that were very fun.

Eiji was a wonderful guide. He helped us prioritize local delicacies at the market such as hamo tempura or the sansyo pepper ice cream, and shared context and history as we went. So much deliciousness packed into just a few hours. Learning about my kid’s love of Nintendo he helped us detour from the itinerary to visit a couple other of local gems that made my kid’s day!

Wonderful tour and a great mix of food and sites. Eiji was a great guide. Very informative. My son and I enjoyed trying new foods and visiting temples in Gion. Highly recommended.

Ted was a great guide. Very knowledgeable about the area and history of the market street we went to. He spoke very good English and answered lots of questions and provided suggestions on places to visit given our short time in Kyoto. I would highly recommend Ted and will definitely look him up if we return to Kyoto. Thanks for the great time Ted. Cheers!

We felt that this food tour of Kyoto lived up to expectations. Ted was a fantastic guide, always looking out for us and making sure that our children were well looked after. Ted was happy to listen to what we wanted from the experience and did his best to accommodate us and delivered a great outcome.

Interesting food and walking tour. Eiji was an great guide and shared a lot of interesting facts of the area and the food market. I tried some gross food (squid on a stick) and some delicious food (sashimi).
